US EditionSupreme Court Trump tariffs ruling could put U.S. on hook for $175 billion in refunds, estimate says
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that President Trump lacked authority to impose tariffs under IEEPA, potentially forcing the government to refund about $175 billion collected without congressional approval.
- On Feb. 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 6-3 opinion led by Chief Justice John Roberts that invalidated President Donald Trump's tariff authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 .
- Legal actors treated the case as a novel test of presidential emergency trade authority, with Trump proposing a temporary 10% global tariff under Section 122 powers, prompting litigation.
- Trump attacked justices who voted against him and praised Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito, with CNN's Kristen Holmes saying `He is clearly angry.'
- He learned the ruling while meeting governors and immediately signaled a backup plan, while Congress faces a 150-day window to extend any implemented tariff.
- A reporter asked whether dissenting justices will attend the State of the Union on Tuesday, Feb. 24, amid the political stakes from the court's ruling, which Trump criticized.
